Cathy Tait

Board Chair

With more than 35 years of business experience, my career has taken me across Canada, the U.S., the U.K., and Australia. Along the way, I’ve had the opportunity to work as an Executive with Xerox Canada and as a Principal and Certified Management Consultant (CMC) with Western Management Consultants, helping organizations navigate complexity and grow with confidence.

Most recently, I spent five years living in Sydney, Australia—an experience that broadened my global perspective in meaningful ways. During that time, I had the privilege of connecting with Aboriginal and Indigenous communities, gaining a deeper appreciation for their culture, art, and values. These experiences strengthened my commitment to inclusivity, respect, and learning from diverse voices.

Community service has long been at the core of who I am. From serving as Rotary President in Sydney, Australia, to my current role as Past President of the Rotary Club of Midland—and now as a Board member of the Southern Georgian Bay Chamber of Commerce—giving back has always guided my work.

As a longtime art collector and passionate supporter of arts and culture, I’m thrilled to bring my global perspective, professional experience, and deep love of creativity to the Board of Quest Art Gallery + School. I believe the strongest organizations are built on collaboration, curiosity, and a shared desire to create meaningful, lasting change.
